Here’s the E3 2021 press conference schedule

The 2021 season of E3 is different than in years past, though. Many companies have splintered off of E3 to form their own showings, like Sony, Ubisoft, and EA, while others are a part of the E3 show itself. Either way, there’s a lot of big things in the gaming world to look forward to over the next few months.

With the ongoing pandemic, the gaming industry has moved away from in-person events. That just means that there are plenty of cool streams to look forward to and a lot less awkward interactions with developers on-stage.

Here’s the current list of confirmed gaming industry press conferences and showings, part of E3 or not, coming in the summer of 2021.
